Reviews summary

Richard did a brilliant job painting our new home! We are very happy with the quality of his work. The house looks beautiful. He was neat and tidy, good at managing his time and our expectations. He is also a very nice person and was great with my cheeky 2 year old who would have liked to get involved with the painting.

Thank you very much for your review Hannah. It was a pleasure working with you.

Richard decorated my hall and stairs which entailed wall-papering and painting and made an excellent job of it and I had no hesitation in asking him to decorate my sitting -room. I valued his advice on the colour of paints and emulsion which would be best to use. He is conscientious and extremely trustworthy and I had no hesitation in leaving him in the house on his own.

I cannot rate Richard highly enough. Richard came to our rescue after we'd had a bad tiling job done in our bathroom. Richard replaced all the tiling and completed the work to an incredibly high standard. His attention to detail is second to none. Richard's communication throughout was excellent and he was great at managing the job, including arranging and liaising with a plasterer. I will definitely be using Richard's services again and thank my lucky stars that we found such a great person to do the job.

Richard painted our dining room, stairs and landing as one project; and then we asked him to come back and paint our kitchen and breakfast room while we were on holiday later that year. Richard is knowledgeable about what will and wont work well, tidy and methodical in his approach (which makes living while a sizeable project is going on much easier); trustworthy (we left him alone in our house for a week for the second project); and works to a very high standard. We would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and sTILEistics.

Richard did a very fine job tiling our bathroom. He dealt with a tricky existing situation incredibly well and solved all the problems with the existing state of the bathroom walls. He is a very considerate person to have working in your home and has a good attention to detail, the tiling still looks great and we are trying to book him for another job, I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Kitchen, conservatory and cloakroom painted. Richard worked in a clean and efficient way and we were confident to leave him to work alone whilst we were out of the house. We were very impressed with the outcome.

After receiving a very high quote from another contractor, I couldn't believe how much lower Richard's quote was - almost half. At his first visit we were very impressed with his technical and product knowledge. Although he personally didn't tile our bathroom, Bradley, his colleague was brilliant. Quick, tidy and meticulous. His tile-trimming work around window frames and, dealing with a slightly sloping ceiling was immaculate. Highly recommended.

Re-tiled the bathroom floor. Richard had the very tricky job of carefully removing the existing tiles (we had no spares!) and managed to do so, fix the problem and make good the floor as new. An excellent job all round completed quickly and without fuss or mess for a good price.

Kitchen tiled including window ledges, Richard was meticulous in his preparation & final finishing of work. Was extremely conscientious & honoured quoted price even when job turned out to be bit more involved than first appeared. Would have no problem using his services again or recommending him to friends or family.

Richard had earlier done some good tiling work for me and I asked him to do internal decorating work, which carried out with skill and efficiency - and very pleasant and reliable to have working in the house..

I had Richard decorate my lounge, kitchen, hallway, bathroom and bedroom. He prepared all surfaces and then applied white vinyl matt emulsion to the ceilings, vinyl matt emulsion to the walls and white gloss to the door where appropriate, door frames and skirting boards. I found him to be careful and tidy in his work. He was always very courteous and kept me informed of progress. He was careful to protect my furniture and carpets with suitable dust cloths. He was very good about clearing up at the end of each day's work. Should I need more work done, I would be happy to employ him again.

Richard removed a row of border tiles in my bathroom and replaced them with mosaic ones. It was a tricky job as there were tiles above and below the border. However, he did a very neat and tidy job and I'm very pleased with the result. Richard was a pleasure to do business with and kept me updated on a regular basis about when he would arrive to do the work.

Over the course of 12 months Richard has on and off re-decorated the interior of our house, including bedrooms, lounge, hall and landing as well as re-glossing our exterior front door. This has included prep work (some ceiling newly plastered), woodwork and finishing. He is very reliable, a good communicator (phone, text and email), quick to respond and very, very methodical. He spends a great deal of time prepping and this is shown in the high quality of the finished job. I trust Richard to be alone in the house and he has worked extra hours to finish jobs. Competitively priced and a nice, unobtrusive guy to have around. Happy to, and happy, recommended him.

Richard Gilbert is an exceptionally good tiler and decorator, and I have no hesitation in recommending his services wholeheartedly. He always has a range of ideas and options, and fulfills his tasks with precision. He's a delightful person to have around the place, and is as honest as the day is long. A gent.

Richard painted our 4 story town house from top to bottom over 3 separate visits lasting about 4 weeks total. I knew him from previous painting and tiling jobs at my previous home. He produces a high quality job every time and is reliable and meticulous. He also goes to great pains to be tidy and non-disruptive. His pricing is also very reasonable.
